Problem seems to be solved. Here is what I did, for anyone who is interested
in using a loopback file on a local disk as root:
- create a romfs initrd with /linuxrc -> /bin/sh and an empty /initrd dir
- boot, with root=/dev/rd/1 init=/bin/sh
- when /linuxrc comes up, cat /dev/rd/0 > /dev/rd/1

Hi,
I have continuing problems with getting the initrd ramdisk out of memory once
bootup is complete.
This is with recent -ac kernels which have the fix-up posted a few months ago
applied.
The sequence is roughly:
- boot via pxelinux, loads up bzImage <1MB and root.romfs.gz ~7MB, expands to
Hi,
If you're like me, you build everything as modules, boot with an initrd that
loads in the disk or net driver and filesystem module, and then let kmod take
care of the rest. Here's a patch that changes Configure (make config) to
build all possible modules - in other words, to answer 'M' for ev
